orh..okiee..will try the zooplaytypoms ..today all came out ..and more daring..but still no sign of feeding ??

Purple Queens can also stop eating all of a sudden and never eat again. This may be due to stress, wrong food or feeding not frequent enough. But feed too much, scared water quality go down and SPS rtn. sigh

I feed mine with BBS. At least these are live and will not pollute the water that fast as compared to cyclopeeze. Frozen zooplankton also cannot overfeed.

[Dispar_Anthias]

which model he using ah...same as mine?

mine is outsump 150-F2001

Nope.. his is the in sump kind... husing the smaller version for his 4 footer..... so nowhe may be changing to either dual or single beckett

GIve them some time... try different types of food... frozen cyclopeeze is very strong smelling... should be able to do the trick... but still, it takes time... sometimes they just refuse to eat and starve to death... thats why purple queens are not recomended by many... oh ya, and best not to mix anthias.. the weaker and lesser numbered species will get bullied and eventually die..

[giantbicycle]

orhh...they so they will bully each other..

[ryz]

Theorectically the stronger and greater numbered species will bully the other species.. but many have had success with mixed anthias living peacefully together...

[giantbicycle]

will purple queen fight with Dispar Anthias thanks..

[ryz]

Many have kept them together without any hostility towards one another... you can try.. but maybe you should get your purple queens to eat first.

[giantbicycle]

yup..thats my first piority before getting any other fishes...

[Chris]

Dispars and Purple Queens can live together. Both are the peaceful type. Don't add in Bartlett and tri-colour first or your others will be bullied.
